Abstract New N2O2 type Schiff base has been designed and synthesized by condensing 2,4 dihydroxy benzaldehyde and α-naphthylamine in ethanol. Solid metal complexes of the schiff base with Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) metal ion were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, IR, UV-Vis and ‘H NMR spectral studies. The data shows that the c...

Schiff-base ligands are potential anti-cancer, anti-bacterial and anti-viral agents and this activity tends to increase in metal(II) Schiff-base complexes. Some oxindole-Schiff base copper(II) complexes have shown potential antitumor activity towards deferent cells, inducing apoptosis in a process modulated by the ligand. Here, six novel copper(II) complexes with schiff base ligands were isolat...

A total of three new silicon (IV) complexes of Schiff base have been synthesized by the reaction of silicon tetrachloride with Schiff base ligands L1 (C16H16N2O2), L2 (C14H12N2O2) and L3 (C13H11NO2).The complexes obtained were characterized qualitatively and quantitatively by using micro-elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. From the spectral studies we could con...

A new series of photo-luminescent Zn(II) and Mg(II) Schiff base complexes were prepared by treatment of the arylethynyl-substituted salicylaldehydes obtained from the Sonogashira reaction with the metal salt followed by addition of the different diamines. Most square-planar Zn(II) complexes exhibited good quantum efficiencies. The Mg(II) complexes displayed even higher quantum yields than the c...

A Schiff base 3 has been synthesized by equimolar reaction (condensation) of sulfonamide i.e. sulfamethoxypyridazine 1 and substituted aromatic aldehyde i.e. 2-Hydroxy-1-Napthalene aldehyde 2. The synthesized Schiff base 3 and its Metal (II) complexes were characterized by its physical, analytical (CHN analysis) and spectral (UV & IR) analysis. The Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bac...

in this paper, cuo nanoparticles  have been synthesized via solid-state thermal decomposition using copper(ii) schiff base complexes as new precursors at 600ºc under air atmosphere for 3 h. surface morphology of the products were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem).

The fluorescence spectral characteristics and the interaction of several water-soluble metal complexes of Schiff-base with DNA are described. Among the complexes tested, Mn-Schiff-base bound to DNA showed a marked decrease in the fluorescence intensity with a blue shift of the excitation and emission peaks. Some hypochromism in the UV absorption spectra was also observed. KI quenching and compe...

The 3-(2-aminophenyl) quinazolin-2-methyl-4(3H)-one and 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone undergo condensation to afford (E)3-2-(1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyldeneamino)phenyl)-2-methylquinazoline-4(3H)-one Schiff base (DHPEAPMQ). The newly synthesized Schiff base (DHPEAPMQ) and its metal complexes were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate...

Schiff bases are versatile ligands and known to be synthesized from the condensation of an amino compound with carbonyl compounds. These compounds along with their metal complexes are considered to be an important as catalysts in various biological processes. Also Schiff base complexes are gaining popularity among the various industries including polymers, dyes and pharmaceutical. This review s...
